⚠️ HEALTH ALERT – INCREASE IN ROTAVIRUS IN THE TERRITORY ⚠️

People in the Northern Territory are being alerted to an increase in rotavirus, an infection that causes gastroenteritis.

Cases of rotavirus notifications have significantly increased over the past two months across the NT, mostly in children under 10 years of age.

To help stop the spread, it is important to practice good hand hygiene.

Rotavirus is highly infectious and is usually spread through contact with someone who has the virus or contaminated objects, food or water.

Rotavirus symptoms include fever, vomiting and watery diarrhoea. It can spread quickly and easily among families, carers and childcare centres.

Anyone with diarrhoea should:
🚫 Not prepare or handle food that will be eaten by others
🚫 Not attend childcare/school for 24 hours after diarrhoea has ceased
🚫 Not swim in public pools.
